Barnes & Noble Nook Color 2 to launch this month

The successor to the Barnes & Noble Nook Color will launch this month, DigiTimes reported on Friday. There is no mention if the Nook Color 2 will run Android, as the original did, although we hope Barnes & Noble considers using the more tablet-friendly Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) operating system this time around instead of a the Froyo build, which was designed for use on smartphones. Inventec and Pegatron will assemble the eReaders and supply as many as 2-3 million devices by the end of this year, the report says. TPK Holding will provide the 7-inch color touchscreen panels. DigiTimes also said that the Nook Color 2 E Ink will supply “e-paper backplanes,” which suggests there will be a new E Ink component to the Nook Color 2, although it is unclear what its role will be at this point. Barnes & Noble most recently released its “All New Nook,” a gray-scale device that we favored among all other eReaders. The Nook Color 2 could face stiff competition from Amazon’s new Android-powered tablet, which is also expected to launch this fall.

It’s all about the battery life for e-readers. If this has some e-ink component that would help it last longer than 10 hours then I’ve got my money ready.

Haha

wow, I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for.

What is wrong with you, man? You can hate any company you want but wishing death on another human being is sick!

You are a certified ASSHOLE!

One could hope it has one of those screens that act as e-ink and a lcd. QI or whatever…

Oh god yes. Please have better specs so I can root!

Wow, if it supports rooting, it would be a very nice mid-range, mainstream tablet.

If they incorporated pixel Qi that would pretty much destroy the competition and the small ereader tablet market would belong to Barnes & Noble.

I like my Nook Color but, if the new one is lighter and faster, I’m in!

they gotta keep the price affordable, 200-250, and they shouldn’t use honeycomb.
every honeycomb tablet has flopped so far.

I hope this Nookcolor 2 would support active digitzer. I am not talking about those clumsy sauage stylus. The 7-inche form factor is very portable that I would like to take it to meetings for note-taking or sketching.

Would be nice if they supported a better digitizer. It’s fine that the NookColor only supports two fingers, but the digitizer also cuts ALL input once you have 3 or more. Maybe it’s a kernel problem, but it’s still lame.

I’d switch from Kinlde to nook in a heartbeat if B&N came out with a combo e-ink LCD reader, assuimg it provided a robust Android experience, and not just the hobbled store they offer at this point.
